Returned today at 5am from the trip to Turin. I have so much on my mind, I feel I can write an entire book about how magnificent this city is. The food, people, museums, all of Italy's culture is packed in one city. It was my first flight ever, and it was truly impactful to see giant mountains from above. The first shock when I landed there, was the heat, it was one of the hottest week of my life. I was used to 24-28C, but 38c was really far beyond that. Next thing was the food, spent so much money just to try new things, and it was really worth it, mostly bought from Mercato and In's. My favorite thing was Prosciutto pizza from 110 &Pizza, I work at restaurant and make pizzas too, for 10 months now, but pizzas there were the real deal, truly a thing you can call PIZZA. Also went to Cinema and Egypt museums. Egypt museum was a bit terrifying when I saw so many mummies, but experience was amazing, so many exhibits from so many different places. Cinema museum was my favorite, as a film and cinema enthusiast there were so many cool things to see and experience. Also I and my brother decided to travel to Susa (about one hour by train from Turin), one of the best decisions ever. The mountains were so amazing there. You could even see snow and clouds on top of the mountains which are between France and Italy, such an amazing sight to see. Also in Susa there is Roman Amphitheater, Arch of Augustus, (which was cool to see because my name is Augustus) and Park of Augustus, it was so peaceful there, perfect stop to take a break. I am really glad my first flight was to Turin, I will never forget this city.
Thank you so much for watching and moreso for the reply. This was truly inspiring to read. I am so happy the trip was everything you wanted it to be. Also, thanks for the tip about Suso. It's now on my list!
@@rodolforossi8352 Hello, just read Your post that You mentioned, so it seems I missed some things near Turin that is worth visiting. Next time when I decide to revisit it, will gladly come back to this comment section and make my destination to those areas You mentioned. :)
Fellow Bostonian here who has been to Italy many times but I haven't yet been toTurin. I've been doing research and it looks amazing . Your video is very informative... thank you.
I was born in Turin, and live there. Turin is more than amazing. This hidden gems has hidden gems itself. Look in Google for "villa cerruti" aka "cerruti collection", an unbelievable art collection, or "cappella dei mercanti" a rarely open, but ever free, astonishing chapel, unknown even by torinese people
What a delightful video! I'm going for the first time and this was the best video I've watched, full of useful information and nice opinions, thank you!
Wonderful. Thanks and very specific info! My granddaughter is there for a semester abroad so I'll be wandering about while she is in class. Looking forward to it and made my reservation for the Egyptian Museu m just in case there are still a lot of tourists in October.
there is also a second city connection network, the metropolitan railway system (SFM) which intersects with the metro... with 11 stops in the city and 62 stops outside the city... it is possible to take the train to reach the airport or the Venaria Royal Palace
I lived in Turin and I absolutely agree with everything you said. On top of the cultural and historical aspect, is remarkable the night life with a number of clubs, discos and bars where you can experience the "apericena" (the best expression of aperitif and dinner together). Have a look at the Reggia di Venaria just a few minutes outside the city. It deserves a visit!
I'm from Turin... and your video is extremely nice and well done! So, thanks for honoring my city. If you plan to go again, consider visiting some areas just outside Turin: - If you are a fun of Savoy history, renaissance etc, then you must visit the other royal residences just outside Turin: Stupinigi, Venaria Reale, Rivoli castle (which today is a contemporary art museum) - a curiosity about Rivoli (easily reachable by bus from Turin city center): during the 16th century, the capital of Savoy was transferred from Chambery (France) to Turin. Since the royal palace of Turin was not yet ready to accommodate the royal family, Rivoli castle played the role of capital for about 2 years during the transition from Chambery to Turin, but this is not found in the history books - - if you are a roman history fun, then you must visit Susa (approx 50 kms from Turin, but reachable with a direct train from Porta Nuova), where you can visit the Amphitheatre, Augustus arc and other roman remains - if you are a food and (mostly) wine lover, then you cannot miss the Langhe and Roero hills (about 1h drive from Turin) where you can taste among the best (red) wines in the world, to name a few: Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero Riserva, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba superiore, etc. Enjoy your next visit to Turin and thanks again for your video
Thank you so much for the kind words and the recommendations. I will definitely be visiting Turin again and will definitely venture outside the city the next time!
Subscribed excellent detail. I think Turin will get a lot of British and French tourists once they build the direct high speed rail to Lyon in 2032 and then you can probably a direct train to Paris too. So much culture and beautiful scenery with the alps in foreground as well two massive Football teams Juve and FC Torino.
I go to Torino often since I’m a season ticket holder for Juventus. Definitely an underrated city and prefer to keep it that way. I’m buying property there soon since I’ll be retired soon so hopefully it don’t become trendy yet since houses are still cheap there.
I don't want to compare Torino with other Italian cities, but for me, it remains the most beautiful city in Italy. This city is simply wonderful, it also boasts many records, Torino is the city that has the largest porticoed square in Europe, the first capital of Italy, it has the largest and best preserved Roman gate in the world "porta palatina", it hosts, outside Egypt, the most important Egyptian Museum in the world. In 1896 in Torino there was the first cinema screening in Italy. The "Porta Palazzo" market is the largest open-air market of Europe, the Mole Antonelliana was until 1889 the tallest building in all of Europe, it is the Italian city where the film industry was first established, it boasts of being one of the greenest European cities if not the largest among them, Espresso coffee was invented in Torino, and many other things. Everything about Torino will win you over, its architecture, its museums, its parks, its squares, its fountains, its food, sweet and savory. Visit Torino, you will be fascinated by it, it is a real jewel, which you will never forget.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Juventus or Grande Torino back in the 40s who had an unfortunate plane crash, Italian football/soccer fans say they would have won the world cup if it wasn't for the plane crash in 1948. It looks very spacious and cultural but without the mass tourism like Florence or Rome.
I tried to keep the video short and to the point and it still was really long so mentioning those things would have added too much time. However, you're right about it not being victim to mass tourism and that makes it a nice destination. Hopefully it stays that way.
There were a lot of things we didn't have time for since we were there for a short time so maybe what we did seems boring. There's a lot more to do and the city is charming, but a week might be too much. Unless you do day trips from there using Turin as a base.
A 20 minuti di pullman c'è la "regia di venaria", un palazzo reale stupendo. In periferia a 10 minuti di pullman c'è il museo nazionale dell'automobile, con auto di fine '800 fino ad oggi. A mezz'ora di auto ci sono le fortezze alpine che difendevano i Savoia dai francesi, che fanno invidia ai racconti di Tolkien (le consiglio di guardare le immagini del forte di Exilles, del forte di Fenestrelle, del forte di Bard che pur trovandosi in Valle ďAosta sa parte del circuito musei del Piemonte (dove hanno girato gli Avengers: age of Ultron la sede dello Shield)). A quindici minuti da Torino, all'imbocco della Val di Susa, può trovare la Sacra di San Michele (anche qua le consiglio di vedere qualche immagine). Una abbazia che ha dato l'idea al libro "il nome della rosa", costruito in cima ad una montagna, facente parte della leggendaria "linea della spada di San Michele" che attraversa tutta ľEuropa da Irlanda a Israele. Torino è il cuore della "corona delle delizie", che poi è il nome delle decine di residenze dei Savoia (facente parte del Unesco), usate dai sabaudi come svago e divertimento. Torino è solo da scoprire, ma bisogna organizzarsi.
Can you please NOT do videos like this? Please don't contribute to ruining this beautiful city with an over abundance of tourists. Let the tourists have Rome, Venice , Florence and Positano. Leave Torino alone.
Il turismo porta ricchezza e sviluppo, e non mi pare che Torino soffra (o soffrirà mai) del sovraturismo di Venezia, quindi ben venga la promozione della città.

I just posted a comment where I mentioned the same things about Susa (I hadn't read you post so I wrote the same things as you 🙂)

If you manage to go back, I would suggest winter: it can be pretty chilly but coldest days are often also the ones with clearest skies
I grew up in Torino and I still believe this is the most beautiful city in Italy!!
It's definitely in my list of top cities in Italy for sure.
I'm looking to move to Italy and Turin is of great interest - your video is so very useful for mapping out key aspects of the city, thanks :)
I'm going to Turin in January for my birthday and this is the most in-depth, personable guide I've seen. Very good stuff! Thanks!
Great video, thanks Sal. Planning to go in September, this was very helpful
As someone wanting to study abroad in Italy and am strongly considering doing it in Turin, this video was perfect, thank you
Enjoy your time in Italy!
Great video, thank you! I'm going house hunting in Piedmont & Liguria in Feb and can't wait to go to Turin.
I hope you find your dream home!
@HiddenItalyTravel Thanks. It's actually for a friend this time but I hope we can find her a great one.
Dude, thanks for the video. Going to Turin this winter. Very helpful!
I think you'll love it. Let me know how it goes!

Beautiful Torino. Thank you great information.
Thank you for this video. Great information and presentation.
Great information! Looking forward for more videos!
You 've summarised professionally and made me see the city soon.Thank you.
Fassona tartare con tartufo is my death row meal. The food of Piedmont is not well known, but so good.
Thank you so much for the video, it's perfect. Was looking what to do in Turin, because next week I and my brother will travel there for about a week.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Have a good time and come back and comment on how you liked Turin after your trip. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you
Best video about the city that I‘ve seen so far.
Torino è bellissima
Great, I will be staying at Centro Historico. Thanks for the video

Also the hunting lodge at Stupinigi -and what a hunting lodge -more like Buckingham Palace!

We leave Cremona tomorrow for 10 days in Turino after seeing this
I'm so happy to hear that! Let me know how your trip was after!
the mole antonelliana is also the tallest building in the world built without the use of reinforced concrete

So sorry! My next videos will be about all the places to avoid such as Torino, Trieste, and Ravenna.

@@Podzzy Sono pienamente d'accordo, però tieni conto che il suo commento era ironico.
@@HiddenItalyTravel Non so, non ne sarei così convinto.
Può darsi che io abbia torto.
The biggest reason to visit Turin- JUVENTUS !!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Why not Torino?
If only you would pronounce TORINO
You're adding to mass tourism by posting this video.
